Kelowna is in the middle of the Okanagan Valley and is a wicked city (in a good way). "The Jewel of B.C." or "The California of Canada" are common titles for this 60 mile lush lake valley.

The SameSun Backpacker Lodge in Kelowna is, according to Lonely Planet,

"...nicer than most motels in town..."

That’s because we custom – built this hostel from the ground up – built BY backpackers FOR backpackers!

It’s awesome: 100 dormitory and private beds, air conditioning, a massive kitchen, games, dining, reading and lounge areas, skype zones, free WiFi, and most importantly “The Oasis” – our custom built, indoor/outdoor area to chill out and meet fellow travelers from around the world.

You gotta check out what the Kelowna Samesun Bakcpackers Lodge has to offer – a pool, hot tub, BBQ area, suntan loungers, hammock zone, laundry, pool table, movie room, free continental breakfast, and heaps of free parking...the list goes on. Backpacker beware, you might check in for a night and stay for a month (it happens a lot).

The hostel is smack dab downtown and a 5 minute walk to the beach on Lake Okanagan, pubs, clubs, restaurants, shops...

I guess in a nutshell you could say a 5 minute walk to everything. We built this epic hostel in the best location in the interior of B.C. so our guests are in the heat of the action!

The hostel is an hour away from Big White and Silver Star, click below to check out this Big White video:
